The Law: The Gainesville Eight

"Fire teams" using crossbows, wrist-rocket sling shots, automatic
weapons and homemade grenades would roam the streets of Miami attacking
police, knocking out electric transformers, and firebombing stores.
According to FBI Informer William Lemmer, those bizarre, bloody plans
to disrupt the Republican National Convention last year were hatched by
a group of Viet Nam Veterans Against the War. Lemmer says he attended a
secret meeting in May 1972 in a Gainesville, Fla., attic, where plans
for the disruption were discussed and the plotters demonstrated the use
of crossbows, carbines and explosives.
